ESG challenges and proposed solutions
For details, click on the “CHALLENGE” or “SOLUTION” button.
Data collection and reporting
Collecting accurate and comprehensive ESG data can be difficult, especially in complex supply chains.
Implementation of data collection tools without large expenditures and optimization of reporting processes.
Full compliance with legal regulations
Compliance with rapidly changing ESG regulations and reporting standards can be complex.
A permanent subscription to support from a consultant who keeps up to date with changes in regulations and cooperates with other industry experts.
Real integration with business strategy
Integrating ESG requirements into business strategy can be difficult, especially when there is resistance among management.
Shaping a culture of sustainable development, introductory workshops with the Management Board and education of management staff in order to correlate business goals and ESG goals.
Stakeholder involvementy
Effectively engaging diverse stakeholders, including investors, customers, employees and communities, requires strategic communication and transparency.
Development of a communication strategy and effective operational activities in this area, active solicitation of opinions, and involvement of stakeholders in decision-making processes.
The Risk of Greenwashing
If errors are made in reporting, resulting not from bad will, but from the lack of sufficient competences of a person dealing with ESG, there is a risk of being suspected of “greenwashing”, i.e. intentional falsification of ESG results for marketing purposes.
Providing a competent team of consultants to ensure transparency in reporting, the use of certificates, and accountability for the implementation of specific ESG activities in relation to those declared.
Talent Management
Attracting and retaining talent for whom ESG principles are important can be difficult if the organization is not perceived as socially and environmentally responsible.
Promoting commitment to sustainable employer image practices, implementing sustainable practices in HR, and offering ESG training and educational tools for employees, customers and suppliers.
Complexity of the Supply Chain
Reporting and subsequent decarbonization in supply chains, especially in industries with extensive networks, can be difficult.
Support in cooperation with suppliers, setting clear expectations and implementing ESG criteria in purchasing processes.
Perception of Financial Performance
The high costs of implementing ESG activities may negatively impact short-term financial performance
Proposing rational valuations and efficient operations, minimizing the time commitment of ESG teams to tasks that bring added value to the team, while minimizing the burden of other tasks that we take on. Reducing the risk of “burning through” the ESG budget, and presenting solutions that increase the efficiency of the organization and its employees.
Technology and Innovation
Implementing sustainable practices may require large investments in new technologies and innovations, which can be financial and operational challenges.
Developing a tool implementation plan at a reasonable price, piloting the tools to check how they work in your organization.
Requirements for ESG managers
The complexity of ESG topics is so great that it is basically impossible for one person to be able to deal with all ESG topics, as it requires a lot of time and continuous monitoring of changes and good practices. On the other hand, when using different external consultants for different topics, a lot of time is spent on coordination.
Support from consultants by educating organizations to deal with the topic on their own, and comprehensive support for all ESG topics by one team of consultants means there is no blurred responsibility.
